The National Energy Administration held a press conference on April 27 to present the national energy situation and development achievements in Q1 2026. Energy investment maintained relatively fast growth in Q1, providing strong support for the turnaround of national fixed asset investment to positive growth. The power grid's role in ensuring security and expanding investment continued to be demonstrated, and investment in areas such as hydrogen energy, coal-to-oil and gas, and new-type energy storage accelerated its release. Private enterprises deeply participated in national science and technology projects in the energy sector, and a number of major projects were accelerated, providing strong support for China's energy security.
